Harvest Rain - Songs of Evening

2005-11-25 / Ravnen / Reads: 5963

I have never been a fan of Neofolk, even in its dark variant. Ordo Rosario Equilibrio, Sol Invictus and Death In June are well known. Their songs are peaceful, acoustic, with small electronica intrusions here and there. Such music can be heard in my speakers from time to time, so...

Harvest Rain - Night's Glow

2007-01-21 / apeiron / Reads: 4570

The newest album of Harvest Rain in spite of its name neither heats the atmosphere nor the listener. The Thompkins brothers show their own vision of new wave cold music on the album. Yes, the associations with Joy Division and The Cure ( the beginnings) are highly probable...

It’s uplifting when we devote the best part of our life to passion. Then there’s a great probability that we’ll die happy. That’s why I bow to artists who made it to the new Halotan Records (3) compilation. Sometimes the work we care about can obscure the impression of...

Halo Manash - Language Of Red Goats

2013-09-22 / kettu / Reads: 2514

What I'm going to review now is rather offbeat and unlike the things I usually do. Music that is full of occult implications and dark ritualistic chants, oneiric visions with the moon glowing overhead, the fluids of life, death, dreams and fantasies. Deep and regular gong beats vibrate in the...
